Here Again
Like last summer's favorite t-shirt from my dresser drawer, I reach into the darkest corner of my emotions and pull out something familiar. I sniff the lingering scent of the last time I wore it and my nose crinkles, my face distorts. I put it on, over and around me, feeling the weight of it on my shoulders. It instantly brings me down.
Unlike well-worn cotton, this feels scratchy and stiff. It used to be comfortable but something has happened since the last time. Something has changed. I have changed. Rather than feeling like this is an old friend, an emotional wardrobe staple, I view it as something I never wanted to wear again.
And yet, I have it on.
I vow to only wear it until I find something new. Something that fits the new me. I want something that is as soft and gauzy, light and delicate as my dreams. Something that holds none of the emotional remnants of past seasons.
I am looking for something that will soon feel as easy and comfortable as last summer's favorite t-shirt.

You're so beautiful, my sweet friend. I am very proud of you, watching this journey unfold has been very inspiring, and I've been blessed to watch - even from afar - as you grow. :) <3
